If you're looking for a bench headstone for sale that ships this week, you're in the right place.

What Is a Bench Headstone?

A bench headstone — also called a memorial bench or granite bench monument — combines a traditional grave marker with a functional seating structure. The bench sits at or near the gravesite, serving as both a permanent memorial and a place for family and friends to gather. The name, dates, and personal inscriptions are engraved directly into the granite surface, creating a lasting tribute that stands on its own without requiring a separate upright headstone.

Bench monuments are a popular choice for families who want to create a more inviting memorial space — one that encourages visits rather than simply marking a location. They work well as individual memorials, companion memorials for two people, or as a centerpiece for a family plot.

Our Granite Bench Headstone Inventory

Memory Stones stocks 19 bench headstone models across multiple sizes, granite colors, and configurations. Current inventory includes:

Standard Memorial Benches — Clean, traditional bench design with flat seating surface and engraving panel on the front face. Available in multiple sizes starting at $1,012. These are our most affordable bench options and ship fastest from our warehouse stock.

Memorial Benches with Backrest — Full bench structure with an upright granite backrest that doubles as the primary engraving surface. Offers more space for names, dates, epitaphs, and artwork. Starting at $1,339, these are a strong choice for families who want a more substantial monument presence at the gravesite.

Memorial Benches with Vase — Bench monuments with an integrated granite vase holder, allowing families to bring fresh or artificial flowers on visits. Starting at $1,776. The vase is built directly into the structure — not an add-on — so it won't shift or tip over time.

All models are currently discounted 40% off original retail pricing. The discount is already applied — the price you see is the price you pay, with no additional fees at checkout beyond standard engraving.

Granite Colors Available

Our bench headstone inventory is available in natural granite that holds up to UV exposure, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy rainfall without losing its finish. Current stock includes Black (Absolute Black / Gabbro), which is the most popular choice for bench monuments due to its clean contrast with white engraving and its resistance to staining.

Granite is the only material that makes sense for an outdoor memorial bench. Unlike composite materials or softer stone, granite won't absorb moisture, won't develop surface cracks from temperature changes, and won't fade under prolonged sun exposure. What you install today will look the same in 20 years — that's why every bench headstone we sell comes with a lifetime warranty on craftsmanship.

Pricing, Discounts & Payment Options

Memory Stones operates on a warehouse model, which means we sell direct without the overhead of traditional monument showrooms. That's why our prices are consistently 40% lower than what you'd pay at a local monument shop for the same quality granite.

Current bench headstone pricing runs from $1,012 to $2,869 depending on size and configuration. All prices shown include standard engraving of name, dates, and a short epitaph. Portrait engraving and additional artwork are quoted separately before any payment is taken.

For families who need flexibility, we offer several payment options:

• 0% in-house payment plans up to 12 months — no interest, no credit check required
• Financing up to 36 months at 0% interest through our financing partners
• 25% off when paid in full (currently running as our Memorial Day special, replacing the standard 20% discount)
• 25% off on 2 or more headstones — ideal for companion orders or family plot memorials
• 30% off for veterans and active military
• 15% off for first responders
• 10% competitor price match — if you find a lower price elsewhere on comparable granite, we'll beat it

Free Shipping on Every Bench Headstone

Every bench headstone order ships free to any location in the United States — directly to the cemetery or to your home address. We coordinate with cemetery staff on placement requirements and handle the logistics so your family doesn't have to manage that process during an already difficult time.

Bench monuments are larger and heavier than standard headstones, but our shipping process accounts for that. Each piece is securely packaged and delivered by freight carrier with white-glove handling. Delivery timelines depend on your location and the specific model, but most in-stock bench orders are processed and dispatched within 5–10 business days after engraving is confirmed.

Why Families Choose Memory Stones for Bench Headstones

Traditional monument companies quote bench headstones at $3,000 to $6,000 or more, with lead times of 8 to 16 weeks. Memory Stones cuts both the price and the wait. Our warehouse inventory means the stone is already quarried, cut, and ready — we add your engraving and ship. That's the core difference.

Three generations of our family have worked in the granite memorial industry since 1960. We know the product, we know the cemeteries, and we know what families actually need — which is a quality memorial at a fair price, delivered without unnecessary delays or upsells at a vulnerable moment.

Every bench headstone we sell is backed by a lifetime warranty. If there is ever a defect in craftsmanship or material — ever — we make it right. No time limits, no fine print.
